Ocone (Italy)

Aglianico
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and elegant aromas which start with aromas of black cherry, plum and dried violet followed by good aromas of carob, blueberry, licorice and pleasing hints of vanilla and leather. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack however well balanced by alcohol, good body and intense flavors. The finish is persistent with good flavors of plum and black cherry. A well made wine. This Aglianico ages for one year in steel tanks followed by about nine months in barrique.
